I Say So Long

I was lost but refused to be found It's time that I got my feet back on the ground I've no business here with nothing to spend So I sit here awaiting my slow-coming end I heard there's a place out far in the west There's no one to chat with but somewhere to rest I've been out of my head for weeks I can't count These oncoming problems I must surmount I come from the places that you have never seen I've searched far and wide for someone who feels love for me Akin to love the sky feels for the sea You call for a battle that I cannot fight I'm surprised that my fortress has held up the night I can no longer feel a girl's warm embrace For the guiltiness has put me back in my place If you are to him as green is to leaves Then I am to you as fire is to trees The oncoming death of my kin to the south No words of their fortune will come from my mouth I strum my guitar it refuses to sing Useless to me like a birds broken wing I can no longer wait for the cool rains of spring I tried my best but it will not do For what I have done nobody knew My solitude of mind is what makes me go on And if you are leaving then I say so long And if you are leaving then I say so long
